Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week: Coming to a Campus NEAR YOU

I haven't decided what I think might be the recommended approach to this. Do we counter it with parallel events? Do we ignore it all together? Do we use it as motivation to put more work into our usual MSA activities?

During the week of October 22-26, 2007, the nation will be rocked by the biggest conservative campus protest ever – Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, a wake-up call for Americans on 200 university and college campuses.

The purpose of this protest is as simple as it is crucial: to confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat. Nothing could be more politically incorrect than to point this out. But nothing could be more important for American students to hear. In the face of the greatest danger Americans have ever confronted, the academic left has mobilized to create sympathy for the enemy and to fight anyone who rallies Americans to defend themselves. According to the academic left, anyone who links Islamic radicalism to the war on terror is an "Islamophobe." According to the academic left, the Islamo-fascists hate us not because we are tolerant and free, but because we are "oppressors."

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week is a national effort to oppose these lies and to rally American students to defend their country.

what does MSA-West have in mind as far as action so far? It would be nice to see some sort of unified response across all campuses not just on the West Coast but through a larger organization such as MSA-National that has been looking to get involved/connect with the MSA/Us across the nation. Let's be preemptive for a change and not just reactionaries.

I'm undecided on this too. In all cases, our action/reaction would be more effective if we get other like-minded student organizations, campus leaders, and professors to join in too.

David H. has launched several attacks on "liberal professors" so maybe that'll be enough to convince those professors to help us counter this hateful event.

Rather than criticise this specific program, I think we need to discredit the whole organization and its founders for being so hateful and intolerant (check out the list of recommended readings on their website).

If we do this early enough, we may be able to discourage campus organizations from sponsoring the program to begin with.

A strong, unequivocal statement condemning Islamic terror (including Palestinian terror), calling for the end of jihad against Coalition and Iraqi forces, recognizing Israel's right to exist - and demanding that American Muslims "clean house" regarding using American mosques, madrassas, and business ventures to recruit for and fund terrorism - would be your best foot forward in responding to IFAW.

They are a bunch of right wing MaCarthy wing nuts. I suggest MSA's continue the work they do, doubling efforts on creating coalition, but more so working on issues that are not only "muslim centered" but more so relevant to everyone- Health care, education, campaign finance...just some idea's.

Because the truth be told, these guys putting this crap on will not get much attention and they will not get it because their message is extreme and its bigoted and driven by the notion to fear the other. Ignore them. Even if you do what they want you to do there will be millions of other things that they will throw in your face, that is if the MSA's or Muslims even are guilty of what they accuse all Muslims of. (I think they wont be happy even if you stopped being Muslim, so why bother?)

This is OUR Judeo-Christian country, not your Barbaric Mohammedan one! You like Islam so much? THEN GO BACK TO YOUR ISLAMIC DICTATORSHIPS, YOU MOHAMMEDAN HYPOCRITES!

CAN'T WAIT FOR: Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week! WOO-HOO!

P.S. YOU people are the "haters" - Remember 9/11? How about the over 9,000 documented Islamic Terrorist attacks since 9/11, and including the Arab genocide of Christian Africans in Darfur? YOU people are the "haters."

Oh, also, YOU people are the nutjobs who actually think there's an "allah!" A pre-Islamic pagan Moon deity, a limestone idol! LOL! You worship something that doesn't exist, a "moon-god!"

And, ISLAM is the most intolerant religion around - you kill everybody who isn't Islamic as your koran commands - "Kill the Unbelievers!" "Slay the Infidel!" Commands the Murder-god "allah."

Yay Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week! Yay Freedom of Speech! This is America, not Crapistan, you ignorant Mohammedans.

Hey - have a great day!

Oh, and btw, Where was "allah" during the 1967 six-day Arab/Israeli war? "He" let the Jews (whom you hate, it's in the koran) kick your butt! lol - the "apes and pigs," as "allah" refers to the Jewish people, KICKED YOUR BUTT!

Excuse me, I neglected to add that I choose to remain "anonymous" because it's well-known that speaking out against Islam and it's false "prophet" Mohammed the Warlord Murderer Beheader can get one killed by a nutter Mohammedan.

Like Theo Van Gogh. Salman Rushdie and Hirsi Ali and Wafa Sultan and even Irshad Manji live under continuous "fatwa" death threats. And now Taslima Nasreen.

You people are such 7th century Barbarians. STOP MURDERING INNOCENT PEOPLE, YOU BARBARIANS!

And if you people had won, the World would never have heard the end of "Oh, Allah favored us with Victory! Allah this-and-that, allahu akbar" and all of your other ridiculous paeans to a pre-Islamic limestone idol that doesn't exist!

You people have been bowing and scraping for centuries to "allah," yet YOUR countries are the most poverty-filled, disease-ridden, and illiterate (just like Mohammed!). Gee, "allah" must really love you people, lol!

Mohammed made up the koran - it's SO obvious. Mohammed said "Kill everyone not Islamic unless they convert" - not "al-lah," the pagan moon-god. My God, my Judeo-Christian God, the ONLY GOD, brainwashing-from-birth is a terrible thing. Just look at the ignorant Islamics.

These guys are so angry and upset with the world (the moon god), it almost makes you think what Jesus would say to them if he were to sit down with them and have a chat. I look forward to whatever this week is called too! LOL, as if it really matters.

Actually America is a secular country with a large Christian majority (about 80%). Judaism is a piece of crap religion; no democracy anywhere in the Torah, only theocratic fascist monarchs like King David or Solomon.

I suggest the MSA counter protest with a "Judaism Awareness Week". Lets be frank here; David Horowitz is a Jew, just as most people who attack Muslims.

Judaism is a mental disorder. We can print pamphlets that expose real Jewish teachings. Did you know that Judaism says that if a man rapes a woman, that man must marry the woman as punishment (Deut. 22:28).

Did you know that King David killed his friend Uriah so he could marry his wife Batsheeba? Did you know Moses ordered his troops to rape all the virgin women of Midian?

Contact me at marcadams99@hotmail.com. I live in Los Angeles, CA near some of the schools listed.

wow. Hate has no bounds. I am sorry that you see Judaism that way. there are many things and developments that came through Jewish culture and study that are present in what you describe as "america's secularism".

Whether Horowitz is Jewish is not the point of contention. The fact is just as there are people who claim to be Muslim and cause pain and suffering, there are those who are or claim to be Jewish and Christian who spread fear, hate and death (Iraq war).

Hate does not have a race, religion or nationality, nor does it have a age or gender. Its something that exists out of fear, hatred cultivated by fear and not knowing the "other". Granted Horowitz probably is educated enough to know better, however, greed also plays a factor to push hate as a tool to get more.

So no this is not a Jewish/Muslim thing. Nor is should it ever be framed as such. This is about what a marginalized extremist perspective wants America to be, and how we all must stand up and shore up what we know to be America, or its potential at least.

Just for the record, the poorest countries in the world are Christian.

The nations of Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America are the poorest nations in the world. Add to that the Christian Phillipines.

I mean Muslim nations like Libya and Morroco are way ahead of Christian nations like Ethiopia and Peru.

The most affluent nations are the secular European Benulux states; Luxenburg, Belgium, etc.

Instead of making fun of people and countries who are poor and suffer from diseases maybe you should consider helping out. I personally give to charity without regard to race, religion, nationality, or ethnicity. But if you are a bigoted against other groups, you should still give to people with similiar demographic aspects as yourself. Every little bit helps :)

I am not sure where these people are coming from. Even if this was sarcasm I have to say i am shocked by the level of hatred and even ignorance.

I can not begin to comment on any of the anonymous postings because I feel they really deserve no response due to the degree of hatred displayed.

If these "anonymous" are Muslim then shame on you. You know full well that the teachings of the Prophet outline the due respect and place given to the "People of the Book". If you are not Muslim then I do not know what to tell you aside from the fact that we are all humans, we bleed, breath and strive for the same values (social structure, peace and tranquility).

Right-wing, Christian, and/or Jewish commenters are not hateful and not fearful. We are vigilant, we are smart, we are dedicated, and we've got Islam's number.

Islam exploits American freedom to impose Islamic norms and rules and law and government.

Muslims who complain of being hated or being discriminated against have to purge their religion, their communities, and their families of any Muslim who preaches sharia. You purge, we can talk. If you apologize for terror, for anti-semitism, for anti-zionism, for jihad and you lose your residency or your citizenship.

If Muslims pull off another catastrophic attack on American, Israel, or European soil, blow up Mecca.

Having lived through the sixties and been active on campus at many a peace demonstration, I can testify to the powerful impact that events like this can have. I am shocked and ashamed that my alma mater, Arizona State University, is one of the host-campuses of IFAW. This can only encourage hate, hate crimes, prejudice and mistrust among Americans. This is how countries are defeated. I'm sure you have heard the expression, "United we stand, divided we fall." This is a perfect example of how propaganda is used to divide and conquer. To use religion combined with the dreaded "F" word is a stroke of genius for David Horowitz. He is of Jewish descent and would, by definition, be anti-Islam. Thus, part of his motivation. I strongly suggest that anyone who is concerned for the future of this country "google" the following: "Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism" After reading that, think about who the real fascists are in this world. George W. Bush comes to mind. Whether or not you believe that 9/11 was an inside job, whether you believe that the war in Iraq ia all about US domination of the world and the control of oil and gas, you have to pause and think about what is really going on in this country. Every single characteristic has been used by or demonstrated by the power-elite in the United States. Please, if you attend this event, keep an open mind. Don't believe everything you hear. Take it all in then do some research on your own. Make up your own mind. Don't allow right-wing/left-wing...any group...make up your mind for you. Think about who your neighbors are. Think about what makes up the citizenship of this country. We are a mixed bag...folks who just want to live their lives in peace like you and me. Whether they be Muslim, Catholic, Mormon or Jew, they are entitled to their beliefs and they are not responsible for the ills in this world. They are not to blame for what ails this country. Please do not take out your frustrations with the way the world is on innocent Muslims who are just as American as we are!

Muslamics?

The term Muslamics is a cross between Muslims and Islamics, and makes light of the many erroneous labels placed upon Muslims.

As Muslims living in America, we are part of a daily struggle to define ourselves and forge new identities, at a time when our community, and specifically Muslim activists, are in the limelight. Part of this struggle is to reclaim our language.

We are proud to be Muslims and we believe it is part of our duty to convey to others who we are and what we stand for. Therefore, we will take the name Muslamics - originally used as a derogatory term against Muslims - and expose the ignorance behind it, as well as give it a new and positive meaning.
